Course Description:
Physical science covers an assortment of topics that focus on nonliving things. The big ideas of Physical Science that we will be covering this year are; Space and Time, Matter and Change, Forces and Motion, and Energy. In this class we will be using the Scientific Method to solve problems and to better understand observed events. At the end of this year, my hope is to leave everyone with a clear understanding that science is both a process and a body of knowledge.
Teacher Introduction:
Hello, my name is Mrs Ginis. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Biological Sciences and a Master's Degree in Education. With this strong background in science, I hope to provide for you a class full of learning, but equally as full of excitement. I find science exhilarating, and this year I look forward to investigating some really cool topics.
Grading Policy:
My grading policy is a very simple point based system. There will be various assignments and tests that will be worth different amounts of points. At the end of each quarter, all of your earned points will be divided by the total points available during the quarter. This will give the percentage earned for the quarter.
Points available for assignments:
-Tests = 100pts
-Quizzes = 20pts
-Lab Reports = 25pts
-Homework = 5pts
Behavior Guidelines:
Mrs. Ginis' Top 5 Policies:
1. Be respectful.
2. Complete all assignments on time.
3. Always come prepared.
4. Be on time.
